Honor PROVE_FLAGS environment setting

adunstan · adunstan · commit 054a897c40c6 · 2017-05-12T11:26:40.000-04:00
On MSVC builds and on back branches that means removing the hardcoded
--verbose setting. On master for Unix that means removing the empty
setting in the global Makefile so that the value can be acquired from
the environment as well as from the make arguments.
